REST IF YOU MUST, BUT DON'T QUIT

It is not unChristian or unspiritual or uncommon for people to be discouraged at times.

Galations 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Psalm 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but DON'T QUIT

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As everyone of us sometimes learns

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he just stuck it out

Don't give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow

Success is failure turned upside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things seem worse that YOU MUST NOT QUIT
